Nice Day Chinese Yale University 好日子中餐厅

TOP TEIR CHINESE FOOD! We had takeout earlier in the week and then ate in a few days later because we could not believe how fire this food was. It elevates any corner Chinese place you’ve ever ate. I would say this is about as authentic as it gets for Chinese food. It was super cold in the restaurant but it comes with the territory. We will be back for sure

This is actually better than most Chinese places. For one, it has seating inside. For two, it looks a lot nicer and more modern inside. Three, it has a mix of authentic Chinese and Chinese American. If you don’t like it here, you also have Junzi Kitchen across the street, which is also really good. My order was ginger beef (they ended up giving me chicken, which I actually prefer), boneless spare ribs, and white rice. Overall it’s really good, definitely recommend!

This place has a welcoming vibe with simple yet pleasant decor. I enjoyed the concept, and the staff seemed friendly upon arrival. However, the food left mixed impressions. The mapo tofu was unexpectedly different—lacking the signature spice and depth that typically define the dish. Their version of this dish wasn’t bad, but it didn’t quite win me over either. The eggplant dish was a bigger issue; despite ordering it vegetarian, it came with pork twice before finally arriving correctly, almost by the time dessert was served. The bao had a decent flavor, though the skin wasn’t as soft as I prefer. Overall, a nice spot with room for improvement.

Sesame chicken was good and the boneless pork ribs and from what I could eat of the vegetable lo-mein with beef added was good. So why 2 stars? Because what I couldn't eat was the noodles from the lo-mein. There wasn't any noodles. This place wasn't busy and it wasn't some huge order. Just 2 lo-meins with beef, 2 sesame chicken, and boneless pork ribs. I mean, lo-mein is even in the name so to forget an ingredient so vital to the make-up of the meal is unforgivable even if all the rest is outstanding. I don't have the receipt but we ordered like 11am yesterday. I, Blue sweater and courdoroy pants, and my teenager son. We were visiting colleges for my daughter so we won't be back since it's couple states away but thanks for replying.

I called in my order and went to pick it up. Everyone was very nice. The food was quick and ready when I walked in and the bill was very reasonable. I got home and saw the actual portions and was pleasantly surprised. The amount of food I got for the prices is fantastic. The food was delicious. I got the sweet and sour pork and loved it. When I have more time I want to go dine in but either way I will be eating here again
